There's no difference in the corner seals.
The springs on the other hand... one's a peice of wire (non-fd), the other is a copper cutout. Get the FD corner seal springs...

Corner seals are the same for FC and FD.
Corner seal springs are a BIG difference. The FC ones are like a paper clip thickness whereas the FD ones are much more rigid and heavy duty and yes you can use them for FC engines. I've seen the solid corner seals but never used them. I think they were recently introduced by Atkins Rotary since it wasn't available when I did the rebuild.

Rubber inserts dissapear after a while. Solid corner seals are stronger at the bottom. The fc corner seals break in half due to the thinner bottom part. I rebuilt my engine and did not even bother to use rubber inserts. It's all up to you guys...

I've seen the hurley corner seals, and made a point about them.
What they did was move the rubber insert peice up, as some people supposedly were breaking the thinnest part of the corner seals. The problem that comes with this is, there's less of the corner seal holding the apex seal perpendicularly.
